I do not intend to undermine what Men\u2019s Physique athletes do, but it is what it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For this list, we are not looking for athletes who could win bodybuilding shows with their muscle proportion, conditioning, and symmetry.\u00a0Here, we are just looking for bodybuilders with mean muscle mass (3Ms).

While doing 675-pound squats for a FLEX photoshoot with Chris Lund, he had suddenly collapsed and crashed to the gym floor.

That weight is not a problem for me \u2014 I had done the same thing a week earlier for my training video. I began to squat down and everything was fine. Then in a split second, I went from complete comfort to collapse. My knees just went \u2013 I crashed down so quickly the spotters didn\u2019t have time to react. Afterward, they felt bad about it, but it was so quick, nobody could have caught the weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"13-gunter-schlierkamp\">13.\u00a0G\u00fcnter Schlierkamp\u00a0<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Height: 6\u20191\u2033<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight: 310lbs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99187\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99187\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-99187\" title=\"Gunter Schlierkamp\" alt=\"Gunter Schlierkamp\" width=\"750\" height=\"890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-750x890.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-765x908.jpg 765w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp.jpg 850w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-750x890.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-99187\" title=\"Gunter Schlierkamp\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-750x890.jpg\" alt=\"Gunter Schlierkamp\" width=\"750\" height=\"890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-750x890.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp-765x908.jpg 765w, https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gunter-Schlierkamp.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/g-unter-schlierkamp\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"g-unter-schlierkamp\">Gunter Schlierkamp<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Do not tell me <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/14616\/gunter-schlierkamp\/\">G\u00fcnter Schlierkamp<\/a> does not look like a buffed-up Captain America. Yes, a German Captain America.<\/p>\n<p>Schlierkamp beat the reigning Mr. Olympia champ, Ronnie Coleman to win the 2002 GNC Show of Strength \u2013\u00a0a feat most had dubbed impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>G\u00fcnter weighed up to 330lbs in his offseason \u2013 which makes him one of the biggest bodybuilders of any era. Not only was he tall and muscular, but he was also shredded to the bone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Being the biggest bodybuilder of all time is no joke. It requires genetics (of a monster), constant work, day in and day out.
